    Monster Mash - Listen to this or I'll kill Rami!

    Last year, I blasted Sabbath out the window as the kiddies roamed the neighborhood in search of treats. I really amuzed myself with that one.

    Monster Mash - Listen to this or I'll kill Rami!

    Whatever the hell that high pitched thing is in the first few seconds (maybe a "chain" kinda sound fx?) has to go or at least have the highs EQed down! Had a fingernails on chalkboards effect and not in a cool monstery sorta way. :mad: Otherwise it sounds great. I actually got the same sorta...

    DIY Reflexion Filter/Real Traps Vocal booth?

    I made multipurpose rigid fiberglass panels that I can arrange into a quasi-reflection filter/vocal booth (with 3 or more sides). When I'm mixing and not tracking, I can lean them against the wall at strategic spots to act as room treatment. They are pictured here...

    It ain't perfect...

    I'm listening on cheap headphones, but right off, the kick seems a bit loud compared to the rest of the kit. The whole kit seems kinda muffled. Could use more high end, methinks, and more snare in general. I can't hear much bass git at all. Maybe a tad less reverb on the guitar? I...

    Randy Kline's (60's Guy) - WINTER

    This sounds really good guys. For the life of me, though, I can't tell the difference in the lead guitar placement between the two versions. I think that was just a story you guys made up so that turds like me would listen to the song an extra few times, thereby getting it firmly stuck in my...

    Perpetual Motion

    I gave it a quick listen and then thought - this sounds like a fun little song. So, I hope you don't mind, I arranged it for solo ukulele (with the tempo doubled just to keep it moving a bit). It's kind of embarrasing but it took me 3 tries before I got the perfect take. I'd love to share it...

    Greg_L writes his own song!

    I think a slightly higher harmony on "boys night out" might be nice. I think right now there's just a doubled unison on those 3 words, right? Maybe that would wreck the punk/hammerhead* feel of the whole thing, though. [*I have no idea what that means :confused:]

    Greg_L writes his own song!

    Hey Greg, I have to admit that I was prepared to not like this because I read the lyrics at home a day or 2 ago, and didn't get to listen to it until today. Well, damn it. It's catchy, and the lyrics work well in the context of the music. It just goes to show you how lyrics, standing on...

    New recordings! Tell me why they suck.

    Me too. Lightningmp3.com is sweet - nobody knows the stuff is there except for those you give a link to - or soundclick.com. Those two are probably the most commonly used sites, and generally aren't blocked by employers.

    Double Tracking Guitars...

    This is a seaminly simple question, but one that has no right answer. It's also something I've been trying to figure out lately too. I find that double tracked rhythm guitars sound really good panned opposite (-75 and +75%, maybe), but then inevitably I end up plopping the lead guitar right in...

    Too Pretty for Porn

    Me three! That's actually what piqued my interest in this - I thought "what the hell could this song be about?" Regarding the drum mic f-up. I recently recorded two songs with the kick and bottom snare mic flipped. Confused the hell out of me. In my head I started to accept that the snare...

    424 mkII

    Cool! I'm glad I was wrong. :cool: Taking the machine apart to change a belt is both very simple and a pain in the ass. That is it's a pain in the ass while are doing it, but very simple when you think back upon it. And remember to keep cleaning the heads - every session or two. You'll...

    424 mkII

    I have a feeling that you problems may still be there after the cleaning, In which case the belt is probably the culprit. On mine, when I slowly started having more significany timing/pitch probs (similar to what you describe) I ordered a new belt from tascam (or some place that sells their...

    M-Audio mobilepre USB

    Just to reiterate, your left side only problem should be easily fixed by arming your track that you're recording to with a mono input, not a stereo. I have no idea about that program, but however you select your input, just make sure it's a mono input (will say "MobilePre Mono 1/2" or...

    hand drum recommendation

    Thanks again mike. Your posts have been quite helpful. If the seller of that djembe gets back with me I may go check it out. For $25 it might be worth it. (maybe I can be a real cheapskate and try to get it for $20)
